1. Be where people are.
We're in an age where just about anyone can create, release, and promote music. Of course, this has lead to an extreme abundance of the stuff. Chances are, because of this, nobody is going to be knocking on your doorstep to make some music. You've got to put your music out there if you want it to be heard. You need to be hitting up Twitter, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and just about any relevant social media site you can think of--especially if it's music related. Bring your music to where music fans can discover it.
2. Reach out.
People may stumble upon your music here and there once it's floating out there on the internet, but it might not be enough. You may need to send some concise, straightforward, and polite e-mails to some music bloggers. You may need to network with some other bands who may help you land a spot on a great bill. Your music isn't going to promote itself, and the old ways of doing things won't bring your musical project as far as they used to. The internet is the future of music promotion. While not ever door may open when you knock, there are more doors than ever.
3. Understand your surroundings.
Try to think about what you're getting into before you embark upon this venture. There's more competition than ever in the music business right now. On top of that, record sales are falling, and numerous artists are simply giving their music away for free just to catch a few extra pairs of ears. It's not a good time for those who are simply egotistical and self-serving. If you're going to last, you need to be making music that pleases people, furthers the art form, or both.
4. Make music.
Make music! Develop projects! Build it and they will come! Don't get hung up on a single track album you've made just because it did well or flopped. Move onto the next thing, write your next song. Improve, evolve, explore, reevaluate, grow, and rise like a phoenix from every pile of ashes you create. You never know when your next song could be your "hit."

[AlbumIntroduction]
'MAMA'
[English]
SM's new group, EXO-K and EXO-M, are releasing the first mini album, 'MAMA', on the 9th.
EXO is the name that came from "Exoplanet" which means the star outside the solar system, and it implies that EXO is the new star that came from the unknown world expected to bring new syndrome to the global K-pop craze with its unique music and powerful performance as well as the trendy fashion.
EXO is comprised of two teams, EXO-K with "K" indicating "Korean" comprised of Suho, Kai, Chanyeol, Sehun, Baekhyun, and D.O. and will mainly appear on the stages in Korea and EXO-M with "M" indicating "Mandarin" comprised of Kris, Luhan, Tao, Lay, Xiumin, and Chen, in China, and they have been become a hot topic even before the debut for the innovative strategy of releasing the same songs at the same time on the same day in Korean and Chinese and also making a debut in Korea and China at the same time.
Particularly, EXO-K and EXO-M estblished a worldwide real time online promotion strategy by releasing various contents such as teaser videos, photos, music videos through YouTube and SNS etc. for 100 days. Even though they are rookie, these contents got over 30 million views from worldwide fans and announced the birth of the new global star.
The TitleSong with the PowerfulOrchestraSound Overwhelming the Ears - 'MAMA'!
The title song of this mini album, 'MAMA', is the work of the hit composer, Young-Jin Yoo, and the majestic sound of the Gregorian chant and the orchestra is amplifying the mysterious ambience of EXO-K and EXO-M and the sharp synth and guitar riff and powerful shouting at the dance break overwhelm the ears.
The lyric enhanced the perfection of the song further by reflecting the anxiety about the conflict and the absence of communication the contemporaries feel between the reality and the digital world and the hope for the recovery of the pure love.
[한국어]
SM 신인그룹 EXO-K, EXO-M의 첫 미니앨범 'MAMA(마마)' 공개
EXO는 태양계 외행성을 뜻하는 EXOPLANET에서 모티브를 얻은 이름으로, 미지의 세계에서 온 새로운 스타라는 의미를 함축적으로 담고 있는 만큼, EXO가 선보이는 독창적이고 미래적인 음악과 파워풀한 퍼포먼스, 트렌디한 패션은 글로벌 KPOP 열풍에 새로운 신드롬을 일으킬 것으로 기대된다.
EXO는 KOREA의 K와 MANDARIN의 M을 붙여 EXO-K, EXO-M 두 팀으로 구분, 한국에서 활동하는 EXO-K는 수호, 카이, 찬열, 세훈, 백현, D.O., 중국에서 활동하는 EXO-M은 크리스, 루한, 타오, 레이, 시우민, 첸으로 각각 구성되었으며, 같은 날, 같은 시각 동일한 곡을 한국어와 중국어로 각각 발표하고 한국과 중국에서 동시 데뷔하는 획기적인 전략으로 데뷔 전부터 뜨거운 화제를 모아왔다.
웅장한 오케스트라 사운드가 귀를 압도하는 타이틀 곡 'MAMA'!
이번 미니앨범 타이틀 곡 'MAMA(마마)'는 히트 작곡가 유영진의 작품으로, 그레고리챈트와 오케스트라의 웅장한 사운드가 EXO-K, EXO-M의 신비로운 분위기를 한층 배가시키는 것은 물론, 댄스브레이크에서의 날카로운 신스와 기타 리프, 강렬한 샤우팅은 파워풀한 느낌까지 선사해, 귀를 압도한다.
또한 가사에는 현실과 디지털(가상)의 세계에서 현대인들이 느끼는 갈등, 소통의 부재에 대한 안타까움과 순수한 사랑을 되찾길 바라는 마음을 감각적으로 담아, 곡의 완성도를 더욱 높였다.

Album

Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at 331⁄3rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century albums sales have mostly focused on compact disc (CD) and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used in the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl.

An album may be recorded in a recording studio (fixed or mobile), in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. Recording may take a few hours to several years to complete, usually in several takes with different parts recorded separately, and then brought or "mixed" together. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed "live", even when done in a studio. Studios are built to absorb sound, eliminating reverberation, so as to assist in mixing different takes; other locations, such as concert venues and some "live rooms", allow for reverberation, which creates a "live" sound. The majority of studio recordings contain an abundance of editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.

Getting Your Music Out There

1. Be where people are.
We're in an age where just about anyone can create, release, and promote music. Of course, this has lead to an extreme abundance of the stuff. Chances are, because of this, nobody is going to be knocking on your doorstep to make some music. You've got to put your music out there if you want it to be heard. You need to be hitting up Twitter, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and just about any relevant social media site you can think of--especially if it's music related. Bring your music to where music fans can discover it.
2. Reach out.
People may stumble upon your music here and there once it's floating out there on the internet, but it might not be enough. You may need to send some concise, straightforward, and polite e-mails to some music bloggers. You may need to network with some other bands who may help you land a spot on a great bill. Your music isn't going to promote itself, and the old ways of doing things won't bring your musical project as far as they used to. The internet is the future of music promotion. While not ever door may open when you knock, there are more doors than ever.
3. Understand your surroundings.
Try to think about what you're getting into before you embark upon this venture. There's more competition than ever in the music business right now. On top of that, record sales are falling, and numerous artists are simply giving their music away for free just to catch a few extra pairs of ears.

Chances are, because of this, nobody is going to be knocking on your doorstep to make some music. You've got to put your music out there if you want it to be heard. You need to be hitting up Twitter, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and just about any relevant social media site you can think of--especially if it's music related. Bring your music to where music fans can discover it.
2. Reach out.
People may stumble upon your music here and there once it's floating out there on the internet, but it might not be enough. You may need to send some concise, straightforward, and polite e-mails to some music bloggers. You may need to network with some other bands who may help you land a spot on a great bill. Your music isn't going to promote itself, and the old ways of doing things won't bring your musical project as far as they used to. The internet is the future of music promotion. While not ever door may open when you knock, there are more doors than ever.
3. Understand your surroundings.
Try to think about what you're getting into before you embark upon this venture. There's more competition than ever in the music business right now. On top of that, record sales are falling, and numerous artists are simply giving their music away for free just to catch a few extra pairs of ears. It's not a good time for those who are simply egotistical and self-serving. If you're going to last, you need to be making music that pleases people, furthers the art form, or both.
4. Make music.
Make music! Develop projects! Build it and they will come! Don't get hung up on a single track album you've made just because it did well or flopped. Move onto the next thing, write your next song. Improve, evolve, explore, reevaluate, grow, and rise like a phoenix from every pile of ashes you create. You never know when your next song could be your "hit."

[AlbumIntroduction]
'MAMA'
[English]
SM's new group, EXO-K and EXO-M, are releasing the first mini album, 'MAMA', on the 9th.
EXO is the name that came from "Exoplanet" which means the star outside the solar system, and it implies that EXO is the new star that came from the unknown world expected to bring new syndrome to the global K-pop craze with its unique music and powerful performance as well as the trendy fashion.
EXO is comprised of two teams, EXO-K with "K" indicating "Korean" comprised of Suho, Kai, Chanyeol, Sehun, Baekhyun, and D.O. and will mainly appear on the stages in Korea and EXO-M with "M" indicating "Mandarin" comprised of Kris, Luhan, Tao, Lay, Xiumin, and Chen, in China, and they have been become a hot topic even before the debut for the innovative strategy of releasing the same songs at the same time on the same day in Korean and Chinese and also making a debut in Korea and China at the same time.
Particularly, EXO-K and EXO-M estblished a worldwide real time online promotion strategy by releasing various contents such as teaser videos, photos, music videos through YouTube and SNS etc. for 100 days. Even though they are rookie, these contents got over 30 million views from worldwide fans and announced the birth of the new global star.
The TitleSong with the PowerfulOrchestraSound Overwhelming the Ears - 'MAMA'!
The title song of this mini album, 'MAMA', is the work of the hit composer, Young-Jin Yoo, and the majestic sound of the Gregorian chant and the orchestra is amplifying the mysterious ambience of EXO-K and EXO-M and the sharp synth and guitar riff and powerful shouting at the dance break overwhelm the ears.
The lyric enhanced the perfection of the song further by reflecting the anxiety about the conflict and the absence of communication the contemporaries feel between the reality and the digital world and the hope for the recovery of the pure love.
[한국어]
SM 신인그룹 EXO-K, EXO-M의 첫 미니앨범 'MAMA(마마)' 공개
EXO는 태양계 외행성을 뜻하는 EXOPLANET에서 모티브를 얻은 이름으로, 미지의 세계에서 온 새로운 스타라는 의미를 함축적으로 담고 있는 만큼, EXO가 선보이는 독창적이고 미래적인 음악과 파워풀한 퍼포먼스, 트렌디한 패션은 글로벌 KPOP 열풍에 새로운 신드롬을 일으킬 것으로 기대된다.
EXO는 KOREA의 K와 MANDARIN의 M을 붙여 EXO-K, EXO-M 두 팀으로 구분, 한국에서 활동하는 EXO-K는 수호, 카이, 찬열, 세훈, 백현, D.O., 중국에서 활동하는 EXO-M은 크리스, 루한, 타오, 레이, 시우민, 첸으로 각각 구성되었으며, 같은 날, 같은 시각 동일한 곡을 한국어와 중국어로 각각 발표하고 한국과 중국에서 동시 데뷔하는 획기적인 전략으로 데뷔 전부터 뜨거운 화제를 모아왔다.
웅장한 오케스트라 사운드가 귀를 압도하는 타이틀 곡 'MAMA'!
이번 미니앨범 타이틀 곡 'MAMA(마마)'는 히트 작곡가 유영진의 작품으로, 그레고리챈트와 오케스트라의 웅장한 사운드가 EXO-K, EXO-M의 신비로운 분위기를 한층 배가시키는 것은 물론, 댄스브레이크에서의 날카로운 신스와 기타 리프, 강렬한 샤우팅은 파워풀한 느낌까지 선사해, 귀를 압도한다.
또한 가사에는 현실과 디지털(가상)의 세계에서 현대인들이 느끼는 갈등, 소통의 부재에 대한 안타까움과 순수한 사랑을 되찾길 바라는 마음을 감각적으로 담아, 곡의 완성도를 더욱 높였다.

Getting Your Music Out There

1. Be where people are.
We're in an age where just about anyone can create, release, and promote music. Of course, this has lead to an extreme abundance of the stuff. Chances are, because of this, nobody is going to be knocking on your doorstep to make some music. You've got to put your music out there if you want it to be heard. You need to be hitting up Twitter, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and just about any relevant social media site you can think of--especially if it's music related. Bring your music to where music fans can discover it.
2. Reach out.
People may stumble upon your music here and there once it's floating out there on the internet, but it might not be enough. You may need to send some concise, straightforward, and polite e-mails to some music bloggers. You may need to network w...

2. Reach out.
People may stumble upon your music here and there once it's floating out there on the internet, but it might not be enough. You may need to send some concise, straightforward, and polite e-mails to some music bloggers. You may need to network with some other bands who may help you land a spot on a great bill. Your music isn't going to promote itself, and the old ways of doing things won't bring your musical project as far as they used to. The internet is the future of music promotion. While not ever door may open when you knock, there are more doors than ever.
3. Understand your surroundings.
Try to think about what you're getting into before you embark upon this venture. There's more competition than ever in the music business right now. On top of that, record sales are falling, and numerous artists are simply giving their music away for free just to catch a few extra pairs of ears. It's not a good time for those who are simply egotistical and self-serving. If you're going to last, you need to be making music that pleases people, furthers the art form, or both.
4. Make music.
Make music! Develop projects! Build it and they will come! Don't get hung up on a single track album you've made just because it did well or flopped. Move onto the next thing, write your next song. Improve, evolve, explore, reevaluate, grow, and rise like a phoenix from every pile of ashes you create. You never know when your next song could be your "hit."

'MAMA'
[English]
SM's new group, EXO-K and EXO-M, are releasing the first mini album, 'MAMA', on the 9th.
EXO is the name that came from "Exoplanet" which means the star outside the solar system, and it implies that EXO is the new star that came from the unknown world expected to bring new syndrome to the global K-pop craze with its unique music and powerful performance as well as the trendy fashion.
EXO is comprised of two teams, EXO-K with "K" indicating "Korean" comprised of Suho, Kai, Chanyeol, Sehun, Baekhyun, and D.O. and will mainly appear on the stages in Korea and EXO-M with "M" indicating "Mandarin" comprised of Kris, Luhan, Tao, Lay, Xiumin, and Chen, in China, and they have been become a hot topic even before the debut for the innovative strategy of releasing the same songs at the same time on the same day in Korean and Chinese and also making a debut in Korea and China at the same time.
Particularly, EXO-K and EXO-M estblished a worldwide real time online promotion strategy by releasing various contents such as teaser videos, photos, music videos through YouTube and SNS etc. for 100 days. Even though they are rookie, these contents got over 30 million views from worldwide fans and announced the birth of the new global star.
The TitleSong with the PowerfulOrchestraSound Overwhelming the Ears - 'MAMA'!
The title song of this mini album, 'MAMA', is the work of the hit composer, Young-Jin Yoo, and the majestic sound of the Gregorian chant and the orchestra is amplifying the mysterious ambience of EXO-K and EXO-M and the sharp synth and guitar riff and powerful shouting at the dance break overwhelm the ears.
The lyric enhanced the perfection of the song further by reflecting the anxiety about the conflict and the absence of communication the contemporaries feel between the reality and the digital world and the hope for the recovery of the pure love.

EXO는 KOREA의 K와 MANDARIN의 M을 붙여 EXO-K, EXO-M 두 팀으로 구분, 한국에서 활동하는 EXO-K는 수호, 카이, 찬열, 세훈, 백현, D.O., 중국에서 활동하는 EXO-M은 크리스, 루한, 타오, 레이, 시우민, 첸으로 각각 구성되었으며, 같은 날, 같은 시각 동일한 곡을 한국어와 중국어로 각각 발표하고 한국과 중국에서 동시 데뷔하는 획기적인 전략으로 데뷔 전부터 뜨거운 화제를 모아왔다.
웅장한 오케스트라 사운드가 귀를 압도하는 타이틀 곡 'MAMA'!
이번 미니앨범 타이틀 곡 'MAMA(마마)'는 히트 작곡가 유영진의 작품으로, 그레고리챈트와 오케스트라의 웅장한 사운드가 EXO-K, EXO-M의 신비로운 분위기를 한층 배가시키는 것은 물론, 댄스브레이크에서의 날카로운 신스와 기타 리프, 강렬한 샤우팅은 파워풀한 느낌까지 선사해, 귀를 압도한다.
또한 가사에는 현실과 디지털(가상)의 세계에서 현대인들이 느끼는 갈등, 소통의 부재에 대한 안타까움과 순수한 사랑을 되찾길 바라는 마음을 감각적으로 담아, 곡의 완성도를 더욱 높였다.

EXO는 KOREA의 K와 MANDARIN의 M을 붙여 EXO-K, EXO-M 두 팀으로 구분, 한국에서 활동하는 EXO-K는 수호, 카이, 찬열, 세훈, 백현, D.O., 중국에서 활동하는 EXO-M은 크리스, 루한, 타오, 레이, 시우민, 첸으로 각각 구성되었으며, 같은 날, 같은 시각 동일한 곡을 한국어와 중국어로 각각 발표하고 한국과 중국에서 동시 데뷔하는 획기적인 전략으로 데뷔 전부터 뜨거운 화제를 모아왔다.
웅장한 오케스트라 사운드가 귀를 압도하는 타이틀 곡 'MAMA'!
이번 미니앨범 타이틀 곡 'MAMA(마마)'는 히트 작곡가 유영진의 작품으로, 그레고리챈트와 오케스트라의 웅장한 사운드가 EXO-K, EXO-M의 신비로운 분위기를 한층 배가시키는 것은 물론, 댄스브레이크에서의 날카로운 신스와 기타 리프, 강렬한 샤우팅은 파워풀한 느낌까지 선사해, 귀를 압도한다.
또한 가사에는 현실과 디지털(가상)의 세계에서 현대인들이 느끼는 갈등, 소통의 부재에 대한 안타까움과 순수한 사랑을 되찾길 바라는 마음을 감각적으로 담아, 곡의 완성도를 더욱 높였다.

Getting Your Music Out There

1. Be where people are.
We're in an age where just about anyone can create, release, and promote music. Of course, this has lead to an extreme abundance of the stuff. Chances are, because of this, nobody is going to be knocking on your doorstep to make some music. You've got to put your music out there if you want it to be heard. You need to be hitting up Twitter, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and just about any relevant social media site you can think of--especially if it's music related. Bring your music to where music fans can discover it.
2. Reach out.
People may stumble upon your music here and there once it's floating out there on the internet, but it might not be enough. You may need to send some concise, straightforward, and polite e-mails to some music bloggers. You may need to network with some other bands who may help you land a spot on a great bill. Your music isn't going to promote itself, and the old ways of doing things won't bring your musical project as far as they used to. The internet is the future of music promotion. While not ever door may open when you knock, there are more doors than ever.
3. Understand your surroundings.
Try to think about what you're getting into before you embark upon this venture. There's more competition than ever in the music business right now. On top of that, record sales are falling, and numerous artists are simply giving their music away for free just to catch a few extra pairs of ears. It's not a good time for those who are simply egotistical and self-serving. If you're going to last, you need to be making music that pleases people, furthers the art form, or both.
4. Make music.
Make music! Develop projects! Build it and they will come! Don't get hung up on a single track album you've made just because it did well or flopped. Move onto the next thing, write your next song. Improve, evolve, explore, reevaluate, grow, and rise like a phoenix from every pile of ashes you create. You never know when your next song could be your "hit."

[AlbumIntroduction]
'MAMA'
[English]
SM's new group, EXO-K and EXO-M, are releasing the first mini album, 'MAMA', on the 9th.
EXO is the name that came from "Exoplanet" which means the star outside the solar system, and it implies that EXO is the new star that came from the unknown world expected to bring new syndrome to the global K-pop craze with its unique music and powerful performance as well as the trendy fashion.
EXO is comprised of two teams, EXO-K with "K" indicating "Korean" comprised of Suho, Kai, Chanyeol, Sehun, Baekhyun, and D.O. and will mainly appear on the stages in Korea and EXO-M with "M" indicating "Mandarin" comprised of Kris, Luhan, Tao, Lay, Xiumin, and Chen, in China, and they have been become a hot topic even before the debut for the innovative strategy of releasing the same songs at the same time on the same day in Korean and Chinese and also making a debut in Korea and China at the same time.
Particularly, EXO-K and EXO-M estblished a worldwide real time online promotion strategy by releasing various contents such as teaser videos, photos, music videos through YouTube and SNS etc. for 100 days. Even though they are rookie, these contents got over 30 million views from worldwide fans and announced the birth of the new global star.
The TitleSong with the PowerfulOrchestraSound Overwhelming the Ears - 'MAMA'!
The title song of this mini album, 'MAMA', is the work of the hit composer, Young-Jin Yoo, and the majestic sound of the Gregorian chant and the orchestra is amplifying the mysterious ambience of EXO-K and EXO-M and the sharp synth and guitar riff and powerful shouting at the dance break overwhelm the ears.
The lyric enhanced the perfection of the song further by reflecting the anxiety about the conflict and the absence of communication the contemporaries feel between the reality and the digital world and the hope for the recovery of the pure love.
